Preferred term

superpredators  

Definition

  • Superpredator is a term coined by John Dilulio to capture the spirit of immoral, violent, and out-of-control juveniles. In a 1995 article titled “The Coming of the Super-Predators,” Dilulio predicted that the juvenile crime and delinquency rates were headed for epidemic proportions.
